Locust pose or Salabhasana on the face of it doesn’t seem like a challenging pose, but don’t be fooled it isn’t altogether easy…This front belly backbend requires energy and strength.
I have often referred to this pose as a front body backbend which may seem odd but that is exactly what it is - we do the pose on our front bodies but the shape of the pose is a back bending shape. As a heart opener, it opens the chest and the shoulders and can also bring heat and energy to the body. It is a wonderful counter-action to all of the forward folding postures we find ourselves in.
